"We are all unsuitable, lonely and deformed people. Everyone has their own temperament. The key is to accept and like it." - "Wild Pear Tree"
The confusion of youth stems from the gap between the frivolous dreams of youth and the unacceptable reality. In every country that regards university as the highest institution of life, the moment of university graduation means unemployment. It is difficult for the arrogant head of the arrogant son to look down at the cruel reality, and we all passed from that moment. Schools always tell us how wonderful dreams are and how important ideals are, but they never tell us what to do next, how to balance the moon and sixpence?
This film is actually similar to Maugham's "The Shackles of Life". Life is faced with the shackles of love, ideals, beliefs, family and friendship. How to correctly understand these shackles is not only a process of constant self-denial, but also the key to maturity.
Faced with the question of whether his first love when he was young should marry an older jeweler, Ceylon could not give an answer. How to measure love and money? How can young people with empty dreams give each other happiness? Ceylon is at a loss, and his future is still unknown. How can we help the other party make the most important decision in life?
Ceylon's mother made the opposite decision to Ceylon's first love girlfriend. She admired Ceylon's father who only had soil, beauty, and poetic idealism in her eyes. So is this choice right or wrong? Ceylon's mother has no regrets. Perhaps life was difficult. The idealistic teenagers of the year became old people who gambled excessively, but Ceylon's mother still has love in her eyes. What is right and what is wrong, people have their own judgments. People always need to be forced to make choices beyond their own experience when they cannot control their fate, so regret and remorse often become the background color of life.
Ceylon faced the helplessness of publishing her own work, without the support of money, the dream was so obscure. Don't be too realistic about asking the factory owner for help. In our country, like the factory owner, there is often the argument that "studying is useless". It is also common for college students to work for junior high school graduates after graduation. People who love reading and even become money-making people have a disregard for cultural education in their hearts. is reality.
The long debate between Ceylon and two religious figures about religion and truth can be described as boring, too much information to read. This is similar to Somerset Maugham's debate on religious beliefs, which is right and wrong, and people have their own choices.
Ceylon was full of hatred for his gambling father. He attributed all the difficulties he faced in reality to the father who laughed and laughed all day, but it was the father who was willing to read the book published by his son over and over again. Two equally stubborn people, like wild pear trees, do not realize their resemblance until the last moment of the film. Ceylon hanged in a dry well means that in the end, he will stick to his ideals like his father and become a different person.
The feelings for the homeland are strange. When you are young, you are often full of rejection. When you are old, you often dream back at midnight. This is also one of the contradictions in life. It is a young dream to break free from the shadow of my father, but when I get old, I find that I have become the appearance of my father.
Compared with our country's current crusade against the original family, "Wild Pear Tree" cruelly tells us that we still have to live like our parents in the end.
Tolerance may be the best attitude towards the native family and native land.
